+        New features and fixes:
+                
+                o Workaround for DosSetFileLocksL() on non JFS volumes.
+                
+                o Fixed a bad record length problem in emxomf.
+                
+                o Made waitpid() respect the WNOHANG flag.
+                
+                o Added some deadlock checking/termination checks to semphores.
+                
+                o Changed the glob() and globfree() implemenation with a port of
+                  the FreeBSD 5.1 implemenation.
+                
+                o Added macros to os2emx.h for preserving FPU control word and
+                  applied these to certing read and write operations in LIBC.
+                
+                o Workaround for bad FIL_STANDARDL buffer handling in os2krnl.
+                
+                o Changed so_ioctl() to os2_ioctl() to match toolkit better.
+                
+                o Filehandle rewrite. Files, pipes and sockets now share the same
+                  handle space.
+                
+                o Increased default stream buffer size to 2 pages.

-                
-                  Note that socket is not high memory enabled yet.
-

-                
-                o Added random() and *rand48() from BSD.
-                
-                o Fixed crash with link386 and unresolved symbols.
